After the judge heard Leng ruoxue’s words, he looked at the poison that Ning Shan had been poisoned. He then turned around and left the arena. He was very clear that this was not something he could handle.
Not long after, the third elder arrived at the arena with the judge.
“What’s going on?” The third elder asked, feigning ignorance. On the way here, the judge had already briefly reported the situation to him. This matter had given him quite a headache. Furthermore, he did not dare to let the old Grand Madame know about this. After all, it involved Leng ruoxue, and he was afraid that the old Grand Madame would be angry. Hence, according to his original intention, he wanted to minimize the matter.
“Third Grandpa! She poisoned a member of the ning family and wanted to push the blame to me. ” Without waiting for Leng ruoxue to speak, ning Duan accused her.
The third elder frowned at ning Duan’s words, clearly somewhat displeased.
“What does young lady Leng have to say?” Third elder ignored ning Duan and asked Leng ruoxue instead.
“Ning Duan used abnormal methods in the compet.i.tion in an attempt to win. I hope that third elder can handle this fairly and disqualify him.” Leng ruoxue’s tone was cold. She did not mention anything about Ning Shan being poisoned at all because she believed that this old man would know about it.
“What evidence do you have? You poisoned this guy and then wrongly accused me! Hmph! Don’t think I don’t know what you’re thinking. You just want to help him, don’t you? If you’re not as good as him, you’ve lost. You can’t even afford to lose. Our ning family doesn’t have such a Clansman!” Ning Duan yelled at the top of his lungs, his voice even choked up as if he had truly suffered a great grievance.
Leng ruoxue looked at his dramatic performance without saying a word. However, a cold smile surfaced in her heart. Could it be that this fellow thought that by pretending to be wronged, this matter would be over? Hmph! In your dreams!
As the third elder listened to ning Duan’s seemingly aggrieved words, he gradually began to feel irritated. What the h.e.l.l is this? Why did he have to do it? Although he really didn’t want to get involved in this matter, he couldn’t just leave it be. After all, the adopted daughter of the ancestor was also involved!
“Ning Duan! Don’t speak first, I want to hear what miss Leng has to say. ” The third elder sighed and slowly said.
“Miss Leng, what is your explanation for ningduan’s words?” The third elder asked again.
“Third elder, first take a look at what poison Ning Shan has been poisoned with!” Leng ruoxue suggested.
“Alright!” The third elder nodded, then bent down to examine Ning Shan carefully. After a long time, he stood up with a serious face.””It’s the soul forgetfulness!”
“Third elder, do you know where this poison is from?” Leng ruoxue asked again.
“This … Soul-forgetting is the unique poison of our ning family.” The third elder replied honestly.
The so-called “forget the soul” naturally meant to forget everything. To put it bluntly, this poison was not fatal, but it would turn people into fools. And this medicine, in the divine world, no one except the ning family could concoct it. Therefore, it was not an exaggeration to say that it was the unique medicine of the ning family.
However, the forgotten soul had always been used by the ning family to punish people who had committed a serious crime. Not to mention the collateral branch, even the direct line could not have it casually. Moreover, the ning family had always been very strict with the management of the forgotten soul, so it was not easy to withdraw it. Therefore, the third elder could not understand how the forgotten soul could appear in the ning family’s family compet.i.tion.
When the crowd heard that Ning Shan had been poisoned with soul loss, they knew that it was impossible for Leng ruoxue to be the one who poisoned him. However, someone did not think so.
“You … You actually used Soul-forgetting on a member of the ning family! You’re so bold!” When ning Duan heard that the poison was soul-forgetting, he was also a little dumbfounded. However, after he regained his senses, he was very clear that he had to let Leng ruoxue take the blame now. Otherwise, the ning family would not let him off. Therefore, he had no intention of letting Leng ruoxue go.
“Soul-forgetting is your ning family’s unique poison. Where Can I Get it?” Leng ruoxue looked at ning Duan with a mocking expression.
“You, you are the G.o.ddaughter of our ancestor. If you want to get w.a.n.ghun, do you think you can’t get it?” Ning Duan questioned loudly. His words caused everyone to become suspicious of Leng ruoxue again because what ning Duan said was right. Old Grand Madame loved this G.o.ddaughter so much. If she wanted to obtain the ning family’s forgotten soul, it would not be difficult.
“So, you’re suspecting that my G.o.dfather is a traitor?” Leng ruoxue looked at ning Duan and asked with a cold gaze.
“I, I didn’t mean that. What I meant was that you can get the forgotten soul.” Ning Duan was shocked and hurriedly explained.
“Alright! Let’s a.s.sume that I can get the soul-forgetting item, but what about you? As a direct descendant of the ning family and having lived there for so many years, wouldn’t it be easier for you to succeed than me, who has only been here for a few days?” Leng ruoxue’s beautiful eyes scanned the surroundings before finally settling on ning Duan.
“You … Don’t you accuse me! How could I get the forgotten soul! Third elder, you can’t just stand by and watch this woman malign me. You have to speak for me. ” Ning Duan stammered as he looked at the third elder with an aggrieved expression.
“Miss Leng, ning Duan, you don’t need to argue. The forgotten soul is a unique poison of our ning family. The control is very strict, and ordinary clansmen can’t get it. Moreover, there is a record of anyone who has taken the forgotten soul. I will send someone to investigate and find out who took it.” The third elder said helplessly.
“Good! Third elder, please send someone to investigate!” Leng ruoxue agreed.
“Third elder, you have to prove my innocence!” Ning Duan also said. When he heard that the third elder was going to send someone to the warehouse to check the records, his heart actually relaxed. Because he had not sent anyone to retrieve the medicine, he naturally did not worry that he would be blamed.
The third elder nodded, then sent a guard to the warehouse to check and retrieve the records.
Not long after, the guard returned.
Looking at the third elder, the Guard’s face turned awkward, not knowing how to start.
Seeing the guard hesitating to speak, the third elder anxiously said,””Did you find out? Who has used the forgotten soul recently?”
The guard nodded and had no choice but to speak under the watchful eyes of the crowd,””I’ve found it,”
“Who is it?” The third elder asked anxiously. He was worried to death when he saw the guard hesitating.
“Yesterday, the young master sent someone to the warehouse to retrieve the forgotten soul.” The guard said carefully.
The Guard’s words made the third elder dumbfounded. W-why did the young master get involved? F * ck! It wasn’t enough to get Leng ruoxue involved, but now they had to drag their young master into this as well. What the h.e.l.l was this! In fact, not only was he surprised, but many of the ning family members present were also surprised because this result was really beyond their expectations. However, before the truth was revealed, they still planned to be patient and continue watching.
As for ning haolan, who was sitting in the corner, his expression turned unfathomable when he heard the Guard’s words. He pursed his lips tightly and a dark light flashed in his eyes, making it impossible for anyone to tell what he was thinking.
